On Sunday, August 29, Metro North Rail Road is adding more train service to their Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines.
The increase will bring the full weekday service to 82% of the pre-pandemic schedule. It will also feature a return to full weekend service on all three lines, something to celebrate just in time for weekend excursions and leaf-peeping season. Additionally, direct service between Grand Central Terminal and Wassaic, and between GCT and New Canaan resumes.
On the Hudson Line
25 additional trains, with 142 weekday trains
On the Harlem Line
37 additional trains, with 189 weekday trains
On the New Haven Line
40 additional trains, with 246 weekday trains
Starting Monday, Aug. 30, ferry service to meet peak AM and PM trains on the Hudson line between Haverstraw and Ossining, and Newburgh and Beacon resumes.
Due to ongoing extensive renovations and upgrades in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), the Waterbury Branch will continue to offer substitute busing through September. Please check back for opening updates as work progresses.
